Trump = US divided like never before. That's the honest observation. Not calling witnesses is absolutely terrible:

"
It is perfectly normal to ask something from a foreign country in exchange for assistance. It is part of the game of international relations.
The request must still be in the interest of the country.
What he asked to Ukraine was a personal favor: to investigate his political rival Joe Biden.
I’m sure Vladimir Putin thinks it’s not a problem, but in the United States it’s not appropriate.
It is such a serious abuse of power that one can speak of an offense punishable by impeachment.
"


Pro-trump cultists want to get pounded by a Putin-like government, " he's like us " :rofl:

If Romney is acting here, he is a damn good politician. He looks like this decision wore heavily on him for weeks, especially when he mentioned not sleeping past 4 AM.

He's right. This is a decision that will not only affect him but also his children if they have political aspirations. The GOP will cull the Romneys from the herd, at least during the Trump era.

My guess is that Romney still hopes to be the face and leader of the anti-Trump backlash (and purge) after a loss in 2020.

John Kasich, Bill Weld, Jeff Flake, and Evan McMullin have all tried to hold that title, but Romney has the belt.

Unlike Christians (Protestants and Catholics), Mormons are still somewhat devout to their faith and moral principles, which is why they more frequently oppose Trump.

Protestantism has lost its way in America long before Trump, but the Trump era has revealed them for they truly are. Mormons may be crazy, but they are more true to their faith and teachings.

The factor with faithfulness of mormons certainly plays a role, but also the fact that Romney sits in one of the few states where even a Trump-critic could win reelection. Particularly since he's a mormon himself and revered by them.
All those others that you listed dont have the power/voter basis to afford open hostility against Trump without getting swept away by primary voters. Romney probably does. That's why he's the leader of the inner-party #resistance.
